Dangerous Animals You Should Never Touch

From the menacing vampire bug to a rat that can poison just about anything it touches here are ten animals that you should absolutely never touch 10 Vampire Bugs This is an insect that you should never touch However it might not actually be up to you I'm talking about vampire bugs also known as kissing bugs These blood-sucking insects are typically found in the warm climates of Asia Africa and Latin America But according to the CDC they are invading the United States of America 9 Puss Moth The puss moth caterpillar looks like something you would want to put in a jar and take home with you These bugs are fuzzy and something about them just screams to be touched However you should seriously think twice before ever touching a puss moth caterpillar 8 The Hooded Pitohui The hooded pitohui is one of the only venomous birds in the world While there isn't really much chance of you reaching out and accidentally touching any bird unless maybe it's a chick and you re standing in a chicken pen it s still worth knowing about this mysterious avian creature 7 African Crested Rat I might not need to warn anyone about this next creature but I'm going to anyway It's not like anyone is chasing rats down subway tunnels trying to pet them Rats are arguably the most hated animals in any city on earth except maybe cockroaches But there is one type of rat that you really need to stay away from It's called the African crested rat and it can poison you 6 Macaques Anyone who has visited Thailand India Cambodia or any of the surrounding countries has probably had at least one experience with a macaque These are arguably the worst monkeys in the entire world 5 Black Widow Spider The black widow spider is not the most dangerous spider in the world but it's definitely not something you want crawling across your hand If you live in North America especially more in the northern part you don't really have to worry much about dangerous spiders 4 Moray Eels If you're the kind of adventurous person who likes sticking on a scuba suit and swimming around in the water you're probably the kind of person who would touch a strange sea animal While some marine creatures aren't harmful at all some are better left alone 3 Sea Urchins There are species of sea urchins in every ocean on the planet from the hottest tropical waters to the most frigid Arctic waters While at first glance an urchin might seem like inanimate object that you can pick up and take home with you you should by no means ever touch one of these sea creatures 2 Sea Wasp Nobody would ever advise anybody to touch a jellyfish This is especially true if you don't know one jellyfish from another They are not all dangerous but the ones that are dangerous are way too dangerous to play around with 1 Tigers Touching a tiger is not a good idea Even if you find yourself in some exotic place where they have seemingly docile tigers roaming around that you can touch you may want to think twice While most of the time nothing bad will happen in a tiger sanctuary with trained professionals every now and then something does go wrong
